Hobby farming is different from part-time farming in that the farming activities involved are primarily recreational and there is no realistic expectation of profit. It could be that the farmer in question lives on an acreage and has excess land available or perhaps they grew up on a farm and are conducting farming activities for nostalgic purposes. 3, record 2, English, - hobby%20farming
